THE LAST PIRATE

Tales from the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, including Pirates of Penzance, Mikado, Gondoliers, Iolanthe, Patience, Pinafore, Ruddigore. The method of retelling the stories, with its fanciful twist, leaves something to be desired (but then so did Tanglewood Tales) -- but the illustrations are perfectly executed, in the spirit of the inimitable tales, by the perfect artist, Reginald Birch.
